Comments Thread For: Nacho: Pacquiao-Marquez is Not a Toe To Toe Fight

Two weeks ago, there was a piece in a newspaper in Mexico saying she already found a man who will marry her. He is 28 years old and is from Spain and he was holding her hand. Let’s see if the hand doesn’t fall off because she’s already too wrinkled.”
